Why isn't everyone just driving natural gas??

Question

I mean, gas prices are insane, but it's not like there's absolutly no alternatives.

we got a natural gas truck a few weeks ago, and have already managed to save like $200.

of course, if everyone was using natural gas, the price would go up some, but definatly not 4 bucks.

Answer 1

I'd love to have a CNG vehicle. They're quiet and only emit water vapor. The nearest dealership is 2000 miles away, though, and there are no public refueling stations here. Also the cars are small and aren't as safe in a harsh winter climate.

There hasn't been a huge push from the government to decrease our dependency on oil because most of the big wigs have investments in the oil companies. It's sad that renewable energy is only something like 10% of our total energy production methods.

Answer 2

It would deplete still like every other resource driving prices up as resources diminish. We need a renewable resource that will never run out.
